Music and Food

When I cook or develop recipes, I like to listen to music. My question is, does music influence the way you cook at the moment? Does it influence what your palate experiences? And does it dictate the spices or seasonings you use?

The Chef/Owner of the restaurant I work at is one cool cat. He's an old school punk rocker / skateboarder. He will make a playlist on his ipod that is about 10 hours long. There are speakers wired throughout the entire restaurant, and 2 speakers wired to the kitchen. This way, we are listening to the same music as the dining room, without the diners noticing our loudness in the back of the house. It also eliminates the problem of people fighting over what to listen to, or having your cooks spending more time scrolling through their ipods than cooking. It works out great! BUt yes, whenever I cook without music i always feel like something is missing.
